Map

Column

The red circles on the map represent a 1km fire pixel which may not represent the actual location of the fire since one or more fires can be detected within the 1km pixel. The blue markers represent 7 weather stations around the country that tracked climate data, like temperature and rainfall, in 5 of the 6 states, shown in the Rainfall and Temperature tabs. Click on the map to highlight the weather station and view locations of fires around the station during that week.
